It's Monday and that means lots of Mojo fun with this sketch by Julee.Still squeezing in some Valentine's Day/love themed cards as I 'm not quite ready to give up using hearts on my cards just yet - sorry to those who are sick of them {grin}.
Lots of hearts on his card, more than originally intended, but they worked so I went with it. The sentiment is from Stronger Love and the heart is from the Wavy Hearts die set.
I wish I could get dark brown to show up rather than appear as black on my pictures - ugh! So frustrating as it can change the feel of the card entirely. If anyone has any tips to help me out, I am open to suggestions!!
All the challenge details are over on the Mojo Monday blog and you can also view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples. Should you wish more details on the Mojo Maker's cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.

ReplyDeletelove the hearts...I'm not tired of them yet! the colors are so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that sentiment, what a pretty card!
ReplyDeleteMarisa I love the corrugated heart--keep the hearts coming, I am not sick of them. I feel your pain about photography and browns--and pinks too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty I just love the black sentiment with the pink
ReplyDeleteDon't have any tips for you, but it's a gorgeous card either way! Love that embossed heart BG! I totally misinterpreted last week's CTD challenge color as black instead of navy. :-/
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I love that it is full of hearts........never too many hearts in my opinion;) Your crimped heart is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day with your family:)
I hear your frustration about the brown, but I love it with "black" too :) Spent the evening last night with my sisters so I've got all day for homework…sure nice to have a 3 day weekend! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so beautiful.
ReplyDeletePhotographing cards is such a pain sometimes! But this is beautiful regardless of whether it is black or brown!
ReplyDeleteLove hearts....not getting old for me!!! AND...your crimped one!! Love the colors! Don't have any tips on the brown/black thing, sorry!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sentiment, beautifully showcased! xxx
ReplyDeleteJust the sweetest card...love the crimped heart and that wonderful sentiment. I have trouble, too, with the black/brown issue. I think strong, strong light over all the card is the answer. Where the light is brightest on my cards, it shows brown but the other part shows black. I guess I need a better lighting setup.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Marisa! Love that heart border and the sweet crimped heart!
